Welcome to Marvel Assistant, the podcast that discusses the most recent doings at one of the more dynamic divisions of the Walt Disney company, which is of course Marvel Entertainment.

This is Entertainment writer Jim Hill and my co-host, the amazing Aaron Adams and I, are recording this week's episode on Wednesday, June 28th, 2023, and earlier today you got to view episode two of Secret Invasion, right?

Absolutely, yep, I was on the very first things on the agenda this morning.

Okay, we will discuss that at length folks, but first you wanted to share some news in regard to Fallout Boy, right?

Yeah, I was just scrolling through Twitter and Fallout Boy was trending, so I wondered what's up with that.

You know, it's kind of weird for a band to trend out of the blue sometimes, so it turns out they did a cover of Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire.

And I'm a fan of that song to begin with, so you know, Fallout Boy covers that while I got to hear what they do.

And the thing is they've updated all the lyrics, like since Billy Joel has done the original, a lot of news events have happened throughout time, up until today, so they've updated all of the tragedy lyrics.

Oh, we didn't start the fire. However, we got a Marvel drop in it, and I was like, oh my goodness.

So we're going to take a quick listen, it goes fast, but it comes towards the very end. Here we go.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

That's great. I was just thrilled that we got a little name drop for Robert Downey Jr. and Iron Man kicking off the MCU.

Let's note worthy. I think that's a bullet point worth adding.

Oh, no, no, definitely, but I got to check this out because I mean, I was a fan. I mean, I've been a Billy Joel fan forever.

But when the original, we didn't start the fire, dropped back in 89 for somebody covering the Walt Disney company, the Disneyland reference in there was fun.

So yeah, I'm going to be interested to see how they updated this and more to the point I would love to have heard the conversation with Mr. Joel about.

Hi, we'd like to do this and how they sorted that out.

You know, I think some musicians and I think Billy Joel as well are, they get flattered.

You know, that you always have the self doubt, you know, why are all these people at this concert here to see me for?

I heard him say stuff like that about his big shows and when someone says, I love your music.
